Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach and 600 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, Melayu Villa by Aayu - 8 mins walk to Armenian St features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. Great location, close to wall painting street and Kimberly night market. So nice host of hospitality helps us a lot. The room with high ceiling gives us space for luggage, pretty good! The hotel also offers coffee, tea, hot/cold water and bread, which is very considerate. I will come back again next time

Located 2.5 km from Northam Beach, Heritage Villa by Aayu - 10 mins walk to Armenian St in George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and a shared lounge for guests. Beautiful place, nice location, few minutes walking from main streets with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops but still it was quiet area. Karaoke bar nearby is actually really cute and it's nice to observe local community there. Usually it's closed after 10pm so it's not noisy at night, like some people wrote before. Place itself is really nice minimalistic style decorated. Everything you need is there - iron, fridge, ac, basic kitchen equipment, etc. It's also very clean and our room was very spacious (the one with the balcony). Owners send us a lot of tips about the city, places to visit, restaurants to try and attractions to check so it was super helpful! Also the city is amazing, really beautiful and worth staying longer than you think!

Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. What a difference a staff that actually cares can make. This is a small place with only a few rooms that has not been renovated to cram as many beds as possible in tiny box rooms for maximum profit, but a very chill home with a great vibe and staff that make you feel like part of the family. King Arthur was so helpful and sweet during our stay. The free breakfast changed everyday and always some great local food, not just butter/toast/jam (which is also available 24/7) And of course the cats were sweet and nice to play with, and if you let them, they will sleep in your room with you to enjoy the AC. They had a groupchat to let everyone know what events were happening in town and recommendations for food or day trips. And as many would like to know, soft comfortable mattress and hot water!
